Flapping rear seat belts with windows down
I like to ride with the roof back and all four windows open. The only problem is the rear outboard seatbelts flap and beat against the back seat like a drum. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? Maybe I am missing a clip or something that is meant to hold them in?? It is so consistant, I am surprised it made it through the "8 million miles" of testing MB did on the new C Class.

I was hearing a similar sound but realized it was actually the screen covering the sunroof.

You could ride-share. Warm fuzzy bodies strapped into the belts will certainly cut down the flapping .... well, all but the jaws ...

I noticed the flapping sound also it drives me crazy. If you find a DIY fix please post.
